What Is The Treatment For Pilonidal Sinus?

Hi, I am 23 years old. Weight = 76 Kg. I have pilonidal sinus for the past 2-3 years. Its size, sometimes increases and sometimes decreases. I have consulted surgeons and they have advised me for surgery so as to cure it at early stage. I have 2 questions: 1.Can it be cured without surgery?? 2.If surgery is required; then can it be done with the help of laser technology so that there s no need to cut the skin. Regards
